“Minister Woolery, keep an eye on the surroundings!” Emperor Greenleaf approached.
“There are still many hidden figures from the ancient martial arts world. Anyone who shows any sign of disturbance should be immediately eliminated!”
“Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I have already arranged for Ernest Shepherd and his team to keep a close watch!” Urban responded respectfully, bowing.
“Good!” Emperor Greenleaf nodded. “Also, assign someone to keep an eye on Lu Xiao and his group. Don’t let them make any moves.”
“Understood!” Urban Woolery replied once again.
Meanwhile, not far away, Night Orchid and the others stared solemnly at the position of the altar.
“Orchid, how many waves do you think the boss can withstand?” Soul Chaser asked Night Orchid.
“I can’t tell!” Night Orchid shook her head slightly. “But based on what I know about the boss, he should be able to hold on until at least the sixth wave.”
“Orchid, you underestimate the boss too much!” Stout clicked his tongue.
“Although the boss looks exhausted, I’m certain that even if there were nine or ten waves, he would still be able to handle it!”
Night Orchid and the others all choked.
“Stout, you haven’t experienced it firsthand, so you don’t understand the weight of the national fortune. Being able to withstand until the sixth wave is already a millennium genius!” Night Orchid retorted.
“I believe that boss will definitely hold on until the last wave!” Stout continued to click his tongue.
“Alright!” The group shrugged their shoulders simultaneously and looked up at the altar.
Boom!
Soon, the third wave of national fortune descended, pressing down on the second wave like a mountain. The resulting shockwave blew the trees around the flatlands, causing the clothes of tens of thousands of people to flutter in the wind. Billy, Casey, and the others bent their bodies simultaneously, their breath becoming more chaotic.
Then came the fourth wave, the fifth wave, each wave stronger than the last!
After the fifth wave arrived, the people around the altar had already knelt down in large numbers. Their bodies were crushed by the weight of the heavy national fortune, but they gritted their teeth and persisted. On the altar, Billy’s body trembled uncontrollably, his breath became abnormally rapid, and his aura was in disarray, as if he were about to collapse. Casey and the others were no better off. Their bodies bent, their legs trembling, their breath in chaos.
“The renowned Commander Gardner, a millennium genius, is nothing more than this!” At this moment, one of the hidden figures in the surroundings spoke indifferently, wearing an expression of disdain on his face as he looked towards the direction of the altar.
“Indeed!” Another person responded with a cold sneer.
“Atwater Greenleaf is still hoping that he can bear the weight of eight waves of national fortune and lead Glavale into its fourth golden age. Such wishful thinking!”
“Judging from his current state, I doubt he can even hold on until the sixth wave of national fortune!”
“I think even the fifth wave poses some danger!” A woman scoffed.
“That’s enough, don’t underestimate him. Give it your all!” an elderly man with white hair spoke up.
“Today, under no circumstances can we allow him to bear the weight of eight waves of national fortune. The maximum we can tolerate is for Glavale to embrace the arrival of six waves of national fortune!”
“If Commander Gardner persists even after the sixth wave of national fortune, you all know what to do, right?”
“Rest assured, Elder Power!” the man from earlier responded. “Today, this national fortune won’t let him reach the seventh wave!”
“Very well!” The white-haired elder nodded firmly.
“Elder Power, should Shane Hoyles and Rowena Hardy know what to do?” the man continued to ask.
“Of course!” the old man with white hair nodded again.
“As long as we make a move, they will retreat!”
“At that time, we will hold back the others and prevent them from filling the void. As long as we persist for three minutes, the Five Elements Channel will be completely severed, and the national fortune will come to an end!”
“Understood!” several people nodded simultaneously.
“Lord Dragon, if you can’t hold on, don’t force yourself!” at this moment, Minister Woolery stared at the direction of the altar with a solemn expression and spoke in a deep voice.
“No worries, Minister Woolery. There’s no need to worry!” Billy responded loudly.
Glavale had been waiting for this day for a hundred years. How could he give up so easily?
Billy’s ultimate goal was to achieve the Eighth National Fortune! Glavale, with a heritage of thousands of years, had gone through three golden ages. In his lifetime, he wanted to create the fourth golden age.
“Casey, Ivy, can you hold on?” After taking a deep breath, Billy looked towards the position of the first level platform and asked.
“We can!” except for the two named Shane Hoyles and Rowena Hardy, the six people in Casey’s group responded loudly at the same time.
“Good!” Billy shouted loudly, “Prepare to face the sixth wave of national fortune!”
“Got it!” Casey and the others shouted again, clenching their teeth and showing determination in their eyes.
Boom!
After about twenty minutes, a more powerful national fortune aura descended once again. The entire Kun Lun Mountains seemed to tremble, and the number of people lying on the ground increased. And with the arrival of this wave of aura, traces of blood began to seep from the corners of Billy’s mouth. At the same time, his left leg suddenly bent, almost kneeling down. However, he managed to hold on in the end, gritting his teeth and straightening his body.
On the first level platform, Bob and Ian both spewed out a mouthful of blood at the same time, their faces turning pale.
They are both War God-Emperor great masters, and among the nine people, their cultivation is the weakest, so they reached their limit first. As their breath weakened, the aura of the two Five Elements Channels they were responsible for also weakened.
“Bob, Ian, how are you two holding up?” Ivy, seeing the state of the two, asked in a concerned voice.
“Don’t worry, Ivy. We’re fine and can still hold on!” the two responded simultaneously. After their words fell, they took a breath and then clenched their teeth, channeling their Chi energy into the stone pillars. The aura on the stone pillars immediately returned to its original state.
“Minister Woolery, should we let Lord Dragon come down?” Donald, on the ground, had a worried expression on his face.
“Being able to welcome the descent of the sixth wave of national fortune is already a blessing from the heavens to Glavale!”
“Lord Dragon and the others are already reaching their limits. If they forcefully resist the seventh wave of impact, I’m afraid…”
“Not yet.” Urban responded after a brief moment of thought.
“But, Lord Dragon…” Donald continued.
“Donald, rest assured!” Emperor Greenleaf stared at the altar and spoke calmly. “Billy has always been steady in his actions. If he really can’t hold on, he will come down by himself!”
“Alright.” Donald nodded slightly.
“Orchid, has boss reached his limit?” not far away, Rakshasa turned her worried face to Night Orchid and asked.
“Rakshasa, rest assured. From my understanding of him, he is definitely not at his limit yet!” Stout’s face showed a hint of solemnity, but he still had confidence in Billy.
“Looking at the current situation, even if boss can still withstand it, I’m worried that Bob and Ian will have a hard time holding on.” Vermilion Bird said from the side.
Night Orchid nodded with a solemn expression. After a slight pause, she added, “However, boss should also be aware of Bob and Ian’s situation. If he doesn’t give up, he should have a way!”
“But boss is in a precarious situation himself. What can he do…” Soul Chaser furrowed his brows and spoke.
“Hmm?!” Just then, White Tiger exclaimed in surprise, pointing in the direction of the altar, “Look!”
